Are you sure of that? The blog of the tournament has a poll today asking who deserves a WC: Llodra or Santoro? You can vote here:http://blog.open13.fr/sondages/

I'm actually not a fan of either player, but they clearly should give one to Llodra (Santoro -> just didn't enter the event in time / Llodra -> deserves it after Adelaide, his ranking isn't good enough to enter the MD and he can't play the qualies because of the Davis Cup)
